atvs will kill you; stop riding them

the dave matthews band know this all too well, and now rodney rogers (former nba star) will never walk again because he got on one.  stop it.  they are death traps, and people treat them like toys.

thousands of those things in use every day, and a few celebs get hurt - BAN THEM ALL!  BAAAAAAAN THEM AAAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!  forget the fact that thousands of people use them responsibly every day, or that the accident rate of ATVs is a fraction a car's...  heed walkonby's rantings instead!

BTW, you forgot to mention the most famous ATV accident victim of all: ozzy :P

my rantings just might make people stop what they are doing and do something else instead.  i'm happy then.  and then there are your responses.  i'm very happy then.  and ozzy is on too many commercials nowadays to mention, anymore, about anything.

thank you, that utah is 12 and 0 and they only get the sugar.  that's what you get when mormons mess with gays.  there . . . another rant, sweetsour.  deliver me some good ones.

I haven't gotten on an ATV yet, but I've always wanted to do it. If you put it that way, I guess if I see one, I'll just keep walking and not turn back.

i flipped an atv over on top of myself in new zealand.  i broke my hand.  if i wasn't wearing a helmet, i would've cracked my head open.  if i wasn't strong enough to push it off of me, i might've broken some ribs. 

as soon as i stood up, i wanted to do it again. 

atv = fun

ATVs do equal fun!  Sometimes people have to realize you can't have the throttle opened all the way when you're climbing up hills and through rocky terrain.

I wouldn't really call ATVing across the island of Aruba really redneckish ;)

mine was through the mountains of new zealand. 

we wanted to re-enact the ride of the rohirrim, but we didn't have enough people.  i think i did yell out "to death!" at least once though.

I have a gnarly burn scar on the back of my leg from an ATV accident from when I was a teen. 

I tell chicks it's a shark bite, cause who doesn't think those are cool?

Because some yo-yos kill themselves on them we should ban them? Down here there's a fatal motorcycle accident pretty much weekly. It's a combination of a high number of bikes on the road because of the weather and senile old bastards in their caddies and lincolns not paying attention so running bikers over. Do we ban motorcycles, caddies, lincolns or senile old bastards? (I know were my vote goes)
